Nvidia is making some changes to its long-term Windows support, and a number of operating systems and GPUs are headed for the great big parts bucket in the sky.
Nvidia gives several reasons for EOLing older operating systems and GPUs.
As of August 31, the GPU manufacturer will drop support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.
All previous versions of Windows save for 8.1 are already expired and support for Windows 8.1 ends in January 2023. This isn’t a move that’s likely to impact gamers very much.
